Salicylic Acid & BHA

This collection brings together skincare formulated with salicylic acid, an oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Because BHA is oil-soluble, it can also work inside sebum-filled pores, which makes it especially suited to skin prone to blackheads, clogged pores and oily shine. Salicylic acid helps clarify the skin's surface, gently loosen dead skin cells and support a more even-looking complexion. Choose products to match your skin's needs: for a focused concern around acne & blemish-prone skin or for visibly enlarged pores. Introduce acid-based products into your routine gradually.

  • Ideal for: skin prone to blackheads, clogged pores and oily shine
  • Active focus: salicylic acid (BHA) clears pores, smooths the skin's surface and supports a more even-looking complexion
  • Pair with: gentle cleansing and lightweight hydration; avoid combining too many active products at once
  • YuliSkin tip: start with a few applications per week and observe how your skin responds

What does salicylic acid (BHA) do?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and, unlike many fruit acids, it is oil-soluble. This means it can reach into sebum-filled pores and cosmetically clarify the skin's surface, which makes BHA a popular active for skin prone to blackheads, clogged pores and oily shine. Salicylic acid gently loosens dead skin cells, helping the skin look smoother and more even. If your skin is sensitive or dehydrated at the same time, dose BHA carefully and keep calming care in your routine.

How to use BHA in your routine

Start with suitable cleansing products and introduce a BHA product on just a few days per week before building up gradually. For concerns around acne & blemish-prone skin or visibly enlarged pores, salicylic acid can be a useful addition. If you are mainly focused on glow, texture or pigment, the AHA & fruit acids collection is often a better fit. During the day, pair acid-based care with sun protection.
